I have a MIJ Squier precision bass I bought in 1988 in Olympic white which has turned a lovely shade of yellow. I wouldn't take a gold monkey for it.

Hi Dave hope you don't mind but this just popped in my head out here in my shop.Like a song that you have to write down or you forget it.Here goes... T'was the night before Christmas and Dave in his shop, working his magic, only finished would stop. Upon the wall, files,tools,hammers and all, placed neatly,when summoned would meet the call. To a PJ, Strat,Tele,Acoustic in need, our bespeckled friend applied the creed, "It comes in broken and lies on the bench, to see where we are and where to go hence." Lights,cameras, t-shirts and beer make him jolly and help fix that sneer. For now the job's done and with a gleam in his eye he say's "Be good to each other and thanks for stopping by."

I use a Hosco TL-FE2 (for 2 mm width frets) which I use for crowning and fret end dressing. It also has a safe edge for rounding the fret bevels. I also use it with the safe edge to take the sharpness off nut with cutting a new bone nut.

Hi Dave, I use nothing but 3 fret erasers for all my fret polishing/dressing. I use a thick rough cloth with a little windex sprayed on it to clean the erasers after each use by rubbing the dirty sides/ends/edges/grooves till erasers are clean as they were new. To get the grooves that appear over time on sides that appear with lots of use, i hang same cloth over edge of my workstation and drag erasers along the sharp edge cleaning the inside of the grooves in eraser. Thanks for all the tips and hope that helps your followers as well who use fret erasers.

I got a new Fender Mexican p-bass in 2017 and the fret ends were like razors, the first fret height was something crazy like 25 thou and there was dried glue the entire length of the neck where they didn’t wipe off the excess when they glued on the finger board. This was a FENDER, not a squire. It took a lot of work to get it to play comfortably. Not sure if all the Mexican basses are like that or if I just got a lemon.

I have the same issue with the volume knobs on my G&L SB-2T: when I run the treble pot full up, the volume decreases- while I have the bridge pickup full on. I can get some real good blends as long as I don't torque up that bridge pickup all the way. And the tone knob is a must! I can go from an upright sound to an aggressive heavy rock tone with a spin.
